Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Purple cabbage
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Start by thoroughly rinsing the purple cabbage under cold water. Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves and pat the cabbage dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
2. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, shred the cabbage into very thin slices. Alternatively, you can finely chop it if you prefer smaller pieces.
3. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl, breaking up any clumps to ensure even distribution of the dressing.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, minced garlic, paprika, and black pepper until the sugar and salt have fully dissolved.
5. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
7. Before serving, taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled as a side dish to complement your favorite meal.
